Man I used to love sharkey in the old days when anything went.
Cussing galore, animated sigs, wares links, rank fests, plenty of good info, racial battles.
I remember some poor kid who posted a lot was tracked down and his picture posted, then they ranked on him endlessly, in like 1000 post threads, including several guys who taunted him for sexual favors, and photoshopped his face into linked pictures.
Then there was a technical guy (like GUTB) who used to post about video cards that drove everyone nuts, because he could answer anything that was threw at him.
Sharkey was the LEAST politically correct site on the Web, and the minute Ross took the money and ran (superb timing by the way) I knew it was over.
The first step was outlawing the sigs. Im suprised its lasted this long.
